A number of public consultations and Questionnaires have been held periodically to inform and engage the wider public in the Neighbourhood Plan development process in order to establish the opinions of the residents on housing, green spaces, wildlife, biodiversity, amenities, heritage and conservation, transport, leisure opportunities, health and wellbeing, and flooding.

These events demonstrated the interest and engagement that the residents have had in the process.
